Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

First impressions mean everything
I was very impressed with my first visit to OrthoRI as it was very clean and easy to access the building. My first impression of Dr. Vegari was how sweet he came across, he came across very sympathetic and listened to my complaints while informing me exactly what was troublesome. I highly recommend him and his staff.And we'll continue to use their services.

Always listens
Dr Vegari has replaced both of my hips. He always listens to me and addresses my concerns. He takes his time explaining everything and our appointments are never rushed.

Takes the time to explain everything.
He answered all my questions and took the time to go into depth why some options were not the best for me.

Great experience!
Dr. Vegari is so down to earth, he made what could have been a scary situation very understandable. His staff are very professional and attentive.

BEWARE of Dr Vegari!
Dr Vegari ruined my life. I have constant pain in my groin, outside hip, back of my hip and thigh. It feels like someone poured boiling water from the top of my leg to my knee, the pain is so excruciating that it makes me cry everyday. I can feel my leg if I touch it anymore. Even when I made Dr Vegari and his staff aware of these problems they lied on my medical records saying that I was pleased with my surgery. Ironically I met another one of his victims yesterday who had surgery by Dr Vegari 6 weeks before me, she almost died from 3 blood clots when she informed him and his staff she needed blood thinners so she wouldn?t get any blood clots. She ended up having to get heart surgery. PLEASE FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR! He might ruin your life too!

Dr. Vegari is great! He spent lot of time with me explaining the cause of my pain and immobility. We discussed the different options and decided on a treatment plan. His communication was clear and most importantly, I'm feeling so much better! Thank you Dr. Vegari!

Consulted with Dr. Vegari about pain in my knee, potentially arthritis. He was certain a local injection would do the trick and i have been pain free ever since.

Worst doctor I’ve seen in. Very, very, very long time! He was rude, had no interest in the problem I was having, and couldn’t get out of the room fast enough. Trust me please, do NOT see this doctor. You will regret the waste of your time and money. I recently spoke to a Person about an orthopedic issue she was having and she told me about a horrendous experience with a doctor at OrthoRI. Who was the doctor? None other than Dr. Vegara!

Dr Vegari dismissed me after five minutes, without giving me much time to speak and he asked few questions. He did not read my file and didn’t seem to know there was a PT report that could have informed his decision to dismiss me so easily. I did not accept his referral to someone else in his office. After I left he must have read my file slightly because he called to ask why I didn’t follow up with the other doctor in my file. When I told him that doctor was a neurosurgeon who treated my concussion in the hospital he was confused. I’m glad it didn’t reach a point where he actually treated me. He doesn’t read or listen.

David is Great!!!! I had a knee scope done on 02/28/2018. The surgery was a success and I was in NO PAIN after the surgery. If you have any questions Sue States is always there answering the phone to help or you can go to the office to speak to her directly. A lot of people was telling me you are going to be in so much pain the next day I was up and walking w/o my clutches. if you want a GREAT Orthopedic doctor. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND DAVID VERGARI! The staff is awesome.

I was supposed to have an uncomplicated anterior approach rt hip replacement las t December..instead I dislocated twice(the first time about a month after the surgery and the 2nd time on Feb 4th) before the revision surgery was finally done in the middle of Feb .Dr.Vegari seemed to blame me even though was discharged initially with no hip precautions.He never listened to me or considered the MRI results which indicated a tear and other complications which should have meant a posterior surgery
